Arrow Explor. Share Price (AXL)

It is thanks to MT on ADVFN that I become aware of LaLuna shale characteristics and composition . . . well worth study if anyone is considering wider investment in AXL. And political weight / leanings have to be reckoned with.

Several papers appear on the subject.

This is interesting: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-allies-plan-more-iran-sanctions-israel-war-cabinet-meet-again-2024-04-17/

Be interesting to see if Israel dares to attack a country that actually fights back. Oil to hit $150 a barrel? Maybe Biden has done a deal with Netanyahu…they’re both up to their necks in genocide.

Hazbeen,

I wish for world peace and plenty for all of humanity. However, the truth has to be faced. Russia has won the Ukraine war, yet Zelensky may still do something crazy like repeat the attacks on the Russian oil facilities. Similarly, Israel may attack Iran directly. We have China challenging US hegemony and god knows what else. Having some oil is a bit like holding gold at times of geopolitical change.

We’ve come very close to nuclear war in the past. If Israel manages to someone embroil the US in a war with Iran, Russia won’t let Iran be destroyed like Iraq. Even the increasing likelihood of it happening following rash action by Netanyahu will send the oil price flying up. And of course, Netanyahu has shown that over the past 6 months he is not a rational actor.

Which of us would commit genocide and use Biblical language to justify it? The most worrying thing is that Biden and even our own (unelected) PM Sunak are still backing Israel v. Iran.

Do not ever want to see $150 oil

Will have huge global implications economically

Any Middle East be be dire for all of us

So do not wish for high oil prices directly or indirectly

Extrader, I'm just calling it as I see it. Israel won't be sorry to see Trump win and this conflict has been caused, deepened and prolonged by Israel with the aim of dragging the US into a war with Iran that enables it to build a 'greater' Israel. I agree it's not logical and damages US national interests but Israel is a like a mad dog that is out of control and the Israel lobby has even more power in the US than in the UK. Committing genocide to maintain Apartheid and steal land isn't normal behaviour, is it? (Okay, the US got away with it with the Native Americans as did the Russians centuries ago - but this is 2024 and we can see it live streamed and it has been recorded by the ICJ).

Forget the mainstream media analysis. These are the same people who told us the Ukraine war was all Russia's fault and that Ukraine was going to win NATO's proxy war v. Russia.

If the Israelis are stupid enough to provoke Iran again they'll enter a world of pain and oil will rise. Don't forget this was just a slap - no civilians killed and full warning war given by Iran. Even so, missiles got through hitting military targets. The despots running Saudi, Jordan and Egypt owe their allegiance to the US, but the people are with Palestine. I doubt they will dare go to war v. Iran in support of Israel.

The oil price has to rise if the market thinks Israel will dare to attack Iran directly. Israel will probably do something as it believes it has to maintain 'deterrence', scaring its neighbours into submission. However, this hubris is leading it to disaster.
